Decideret Topaz 2021

Origin: Copenhagen, Denmark
ABV: 6%

A really surprising and wonderful Apple Wine from 100% Organic Topaz apples. The first "still" wine from Decideret and it really is next level in our opinion and an exhibition of the depth, character and potential that is possible in the "fruit wine" realm.

Matured for nine months in old Burgunday wine barrels. Notes of plum, green apple, vanilla. Bright fresh acidity accompanied by a bit of body and skinsy-texture.

For years Denmark has been at the forefront of food culture with it's new nordic cuisine. Now, its the drinks that are undergoing a revolution. And three mates from Copenhagen are among a vanguard of small producers redefining beverages made from apples, berries and other local and foreign fruits. At their winery in Nordhaven they crush and ferment all of these things to create products as complex and vinous as wine, quenchy as kombucha, sour as Lambic and as fruitful as freshly squeezed fruit juice. They are all wild fermented and made from Organically farmed Danish fruit with a minimal intervention ethos.

As a bonus they are also minimising food waste - every year 5 million kilos of apples fall from trees and are abondoned (I would guess it would be a similar amount in Lithuania). On the island of Fyn (Funen in english) there is a tradition of handing in excess fruit to a local cidery (donors sign that they are organically grown) in exchange for bottles of the finished product. The boys use some of this cider for use in their wines and are also borrowing the concept with the same offer at locations in Copenhagen and Aarhus.
